"As a computer security professional I just have to chuckle about all the Mac user claims of security. The fact is there is not one single computer anywhere this isn’t vulnerable to exploitation. One of the main reasons there is so much focus on Microsoft products is the fact that they are so prevalent. If someone is in the business of exploiting machines, the best platform to concentrate on is obviously MS products just because of the shear numbers. If the numbers were reversed, I’m sure that Macs would be victimized just as easily. If any of you Mac users think you are invincible, you obviously haven’t seen the number of exploits available to hackers\malicious software for the Mac platform."

I believe you are correct. Macs make up something like 4.5% market share of all computers in the USA so most hackers aren't going to bother hacking them. The more prevelent they become (if) the more hackers will turn to them. Right now, there just aren't enough out there for the hackers to bother with the effort.
